Program Fees

Undergraduate Students

Charges and expenses vary by location. The tuition and estimated out-of-pocket expenses for the Middlebury Schools Abroad can be found on the respective websites listed below.

Middlebury undergraduate students will also be assessed an additional non-refundable study abroad administrative fee per semester. The purpose of the fee is to help offset administrative costs associated with study abroad, including advising, application to and approval by International Programs and Off-Campus Study or the Programs Abroad Committee, assistance with registration and housing while abroad, coordination with and oversight of study abroad programs, and awarding of credit.

Participation in activities, events, and excursions is voluntary; however, non-participation shall not be cause for a refund of any portion of the program fees.

Graduate Students

When studying in France, Germany, Italy, Kazakhstan, and Spain you pay only tuition (this includes health insurance) to Middlebury College. You are responsible for paying for your own room, board, travel, books, and other expenses directly to the provider. In Kazakhstan, if you live in campus dorm housing, or in Italy, if you live in a private residence hall, you pay tuition and housing to Middlebury. There is no reduction in the tuition charge for students who petition and, on rare occasions, are approved to take less than a full course load.

Tuition and estimates for out-of-pocket expenses for the upcoming year can be found by visiting the dates and fees pages of the Language Schools:
